When i upgraded my breaks to Powerslot slotted rotors, i went with Hawk HPS pads.. Doing both of those together was an incredible increase in braking. Granted it won't come close to something like Brembo, Stoptech, Willwood, Baer etc, it was a lot nicer then factory parts for sure.

yeah may do rotors sametime so will wait, PLUS on phone with cruizin concepts, those wheels are made for them by Chip Foose, so makes sense why they look good.

I see your caliper covers fit like mine, not quite covering the inside of the caliper.

Was kind of disappointed in that.

Anyhow here are some pics of the covers and 20's

Amen to that, I DD my car too and I still look back and say "Wow I own that car!" LOL!

Default I bought 4 265/35R20's

If anyone can help, I bought four 265/35R20 tires and rims to put on my 2005 mustang gt. Am I going to have issues fitting them on my car? I know i should have researched this prior to buying them but it was an amazing deal I could not risk loosing them. Can anyone shed a little information on this for me.

I would think to risk buying something you can't use ... is a bigger risk than passing on the deal.
